Worries

If you were president or perhaps secretary of state, what would worry you more?

Global Warming.

Iran with nuclear weapons.

China engaged in a regional war with Japan, The Philippines and Taiwan over control of the Senkaku Islands.

The impact of domestic unemployment brought on by ObamaCare.

An eighteen trillion dollar national debt.

Having Republicans take over the government - at which time they'd find out what sort of crap you'd been hiding for the past 8 years.

Resurgent al-Qaida

A complete melt-down of ObamaCare triggering the need for a massive bail out of the insurance industry.

Nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan

North Korea

Secretary of State John Kerry, who is somewhere on the Biden scale when it comes to general acumen, picked global warming, amid the most bitter winter people on the East Coast of the US have ever experienced.

President Obama picked #6, above, in the hopes that Hillary Clinton will be elected, covering his back so that an Obama Presidential Library - and legacy - will be built rather than having him run to Kenya, or even Russia, ahead of the mob, in search of political asylum (the way most third world potentates do) to avoid imprisonment. Would Vlad Putin put him up in a dacha in the country next door to Edward Snowden?

Does Obama and his cronies really think that Hillary (The Bitch of Benghazi) Clinton won't throw them under the bus?

Housekeeping

As of January 1, 2017 this blog began to receive anonymous posts. I try not to delete them, but if you want to be taken seriously here, you need to identify yourself, if only by some sort of cryptonym.

Welcome to Virtual Mirage

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad," asked Alice?

"You must be," said the cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Good Morning

Virtual Mirage - What's on the other side of the mirror? Ask Alice how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

This blog is an extension of MY JOURNEY because sometimes my journey needs more explanation, and sometimes there is more to be said than can be expressed on one ordinary blog.

Sometimes it's politics (very serious), sometimes I address the human condition with a dose of humor, and other times it may seem as if the track is headed in a unique direction. I can be a complicated guy at times.

There are a few things you'll find I consider:

* Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

* Sometimes the questions are complex but the answers are simple.

* Love is the only condition where the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

* Steers do not sign treaties with meat packers. (think on that)

* Taxes are NEVER levied for the benefit of the taxed.

* The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no victory possible in defense.

WHITE POWDER (Novel)

There is something intoxicating about a secret.

THE OLD WHORE (NOVEL)

In the peculiar culture of the Central Intelligence Agency, "old whores" are people who will do whatever it takes to get the job done, irrespective of the cost.

EXILES FROM EDEN (NOVEL)

Sparks fly as two star-crossed lovers meet. He runs toward trouble as she yearns for something missing. And it ends in a flight from and toward justice.

About Me

Today, I balance work and play as much as anyone can. All things remaining equal, play is more important. Life is short - it's important to make every day count for something, if only to yourself.
I'm a former tinker/tailor/soldier/sailor who has now decided that maybe it really wasn't all done for nothing.
